zerzle* Blogzine And Social Network Invites Users To Take The High Road.

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 03, 2010 -
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—“zerzle* makes it easy for people to publish blog-style articles called z-pages, complete with images and embedded videos,” says creator and zeo, Garr Ovard. “Our users, referred to as zerzlers, can follow other zerzlers and email links to friends just like they would on any other social network, but zerzle* is fundamentally different from similar Web sites because our focus is not only to inform and entertain but also to uplift and inspire. So many people are comfortable sharing their worst sides on the Internet, what we’re doing with zerzle* is asking our users to have fun but keep it clean.”

When asked to elaborate on the type of content zerzle* is looking for, Ovard explains, “The crude joke you heard in the hallway has no place on zerzle* but the story about your neighbor who fell off a ladder hanging Christmas lights and courageously went back to work in a wheelchair does. zerzle* has 32 categories ranging from Fitness, Food, and Fashion to Entertainment, News, and Personal Development. We’re asking people with blogging, writing and social networking interests to get on zerzle* and help us build a treasure trove of great content. For example, I’m interested in marine biology so I created an informative z-page with pictures and a video of a scary looking deep sea fish called the fangtooth. One of our zerzlers is a professional hornist and teacher. She shares links to free music tools.”

Ovard says marketing zerzle* as a values-based Web site will be a turn-off for some would-be zerzlers but he believes the need for content sharing venues with higher standards is too great to ignore. “I think zerzle’s values will ultimately help us attract better content. I don’t worry about skeptics. I’m too focused on making zerzle* the place people go to find and share content of the highest caliber — great imagery, useful and interesting text, engaging videos, things like that.”
